Intro
C Csus4 C G F (repeat twice)
[Verse]
C Csus4 C
I miss my friends, I miss my house
G F
but it's way too late to turn back now.
C Csus4 C
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
G F
places where I've never been.
Dm F G
And I'm trying so hard,
Dm F G A#
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)
C Csus4 C G F
[Verse]
C Csus4 C
Played a show in Michigan,
G F
where my phone fell off and hit the rim,
C Csus4 C
cracked my screen, the Apple Store,
G F
told me "$120, wallet encore!"
C Csus4 C
There was a motel down the street,
G F
but I scrapped up enough just to eat,
C Csus4 C
so I slept in my car,
G F
wishing on a shooting star.
[Chorus]
C
It's a long drive back home,
A# F/A
but I can make it on my own.
C
Not a mile on my car,
A# F/A
more powerful than my desires
C
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A# F/A
is way too high for me to see.
C
Hope you have fun up there,
A# F/A A# C
pretending anyone else cares.
F/A A# C (x2)
[Verse]
C Csus4 C
And your boyfriend's got some nerve,
G F
thinking my intention's on reverse.
C Csus4 C
I've been known as a sweet-talker,
G F
but never as a homewrecker.
C Csus4 C
And sure, there once was a time,
G F
we had Skype-sleepovers every night.
C Csus4 C
But that's all over now,
G F
I was a lucky 7, strike 8, she's out!
[Chorus]
C
It's a long drive back home,
A# F/A
but I can make it on my own.
C
Not a mile on my car,
A# F/A
more powerful than my desires
C
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A# F/A
is way too high for me to see.
C
Hope you have fun up there,
A# F/A A# C
pretending anyone else cares.
[Chorus]
C
It's a long drive back home,
A# F/A
but I can make it on my own.
C
Not a mile on my car,
A# F/A
more powerful than my desires
C
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A# F/A
is way too high for me to see.
C
Hope you have fun up there,
A# F/A A# C
pretending anyone else cares.
C G
It's alright, we all changed,
A# F
nothing can stay the same.
C G
You left me, left me lost,
A# F
I'm betrayed, and double crossed.
C G A# F
Every time I turn around, you're chasing life into the ground. You,
C G A# F
hide your soul, make it blind to all the elements outside. And,
C G A# F
instead of embracing your gifts, you make anti-intimate.
C G A# F
Smile and laugh with your friends, while deep inside you mourn again.
[Chorus]
C
It's a long drive back home,
A# F/A
but I can make it on my own.
C
Not a mile on my car,
A# F/A
more powerful than my desires
C
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A# F/A
is way too high for me to see.
C
Hope you have fun up there,
A# F/A A# C
pretending anyone else cares.
[Outro]
F/A A# C (x2)
